Lemvigh-Müller Code of Conduct

Labour practise
The supplier shall respect the human rights of workers and treat employees with dignity and respect. Specifically, we expect our partners to adhere to the following requirements on labour practices:

 

  • Wages and benefits: The supplier shall pay employees at least the minimum wage required by law or the prevailing industry standard in the country, whichever is greater, and shall provide all legally mandated benefits, including medical insurance, social insurance and pensions in full and on time. The suppliers are encouraged to ensure that their employees receive wages that are sufficient to cover the cost of accommodation, health care, nutrition, clothing and education for the employees and any dependent children. The supplier shall ensure that it adheres to all applicable laws or industry standards, whichever may be more stringent, relating to wages, working hours, overtime and benefits.
     
  • Working hours: Employees shall not be required to work more than 48 hours a week. Overtime shall be voluntary, infrequent, and not exceed 12 hours a week or the limits on regular hours and overtime allowed by local laws and regulations. If required, overtime shall be voluntary and communicated to the employee. Overtime shall be remunerated at a higher rate than the hourly rate and shall be paid in legal tender on a regular basis.
     
  • Child labour: The supplier shall not recruit or employ child labour, the minimum age of workers shall be 15 years or the   minimum age set by the national laws in the country of manufacturing, whichever is higher. Young workers, i.e. those above the minimum age and below the age of 18, may only be employed for non hazardous work.
     
  • Non-discrimination: The supplier shall not discriminate with regard to race, colour, gender, language, political or other opinion, caste, national or social origin, property, birth, union affiliation, sexual orientation, health status, age, disability, or other distinguishing characteristics. Any employment-related decisions, from hiring to termination and retirement, shall be based only on relevant and objective criteria.
     
  • Forced labour: The supplier shall not participate in or benefit from any form of forced labour, including bonded labour, indentured labour, slave labour, or human tracking. Workers shall be allowed to move around freely and leave their place of work when their shift ends.
     
  • Retention of identity cards and travel documents: The supplier shall refrain from asking employees to submit their original identity papers or any other original official documentation or to pay a deposit as part of their conditions of employment.
     
  • Harassment: The supplier shall protect workers from any acts of physical, verbal, sexual or psychological harassment, abuse or threats in the workplace by either their fellow workers or their managers.
